Anywhere Georgia - Sanders Bohlke

Her Daddy was a preacher man

Use to smile when he prayed

And he’d hold them in his arms and whisper

«Bless this child today»

Now she works in the city

Tired arms and bleeding hands

Money’s so hard to come by

But she does what she can

He moved out not too long ago

Said she was cold to the touch

She gave her body to this one

But she didn’t love him too much

See the boys they come and go

Never reaching her soul

And she cries when she’s lonely

So scared of growing old

Now she got a ticket to Anywhere Georgia

Said it reminds her of home

She lookin' back at the city

Feelin' so alone

But she closes her eyes

Smiling just like her Daddy

She gives her life to Jesus

«Papa's gonna be so happy.»

So happy

She said,

«Oh I’ve seen my trouble

Oh and I see my pain in the bed (?)

Oh and I’ve been so lonely

Oh but consider me this»

Now she got kids of her own

A son and two daughters

She don’t feel too alone

She loves them like she oughta

Well they got her eyes

And they smile when they pray

And she’s down on her knees saying

«Thank you for blessing me»

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you
